NFL WEEK 15: Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
So here we are again with two teams with the same record and the same playoff consequences on the line. The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles have a tied record and are both trying to establish themselves as the best in the division for a playoff spot. If you remember last time these two teams met that was exactly the case and the Eagles won the game in a pretty convincing way.
This time I just don't see much being different, the Philadelphia Eagles give the Dallas Cowboys a hard time with their fast paced offense. The Eagles run the ball well against the Dallas Cowboys defense but it is the passing game that takes it over the top and gives them more trouble. The Dallas Cowboys defense just wasn't up for the task last time and I don't expect them to be up for it this time.
On the other side of the ball the offensive line has to establish itself in order for the Dallas Cowboys to even have a chance. If they can establish the line then the running game should follow and we know how they are if they can do that. Once the running game is established then they can really open it up to the passing game and be a threat but it all starts with the offensive line.
If it is one thing the Dallas Cowboys just don't do well is adjust even through out the game, they are always behind the curve and I put that on the coaching staff, so keep an eye out for that during the game.
I will give this game to the Philadelphia Eagles, I think they should be able to easily take it by two touchdowns, but we will see.
Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
It is Thanksgiving and that can only mean family, turkey dinner and Dallas Cowboys football. This week the Dallas Cowboys take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that is sure to catch the attention of the NFL, not only because it is only one of two games on Thanksgiving day but because these are two contenders up to this point. Also they are in the same division tied for first place which should add to the competiveness of the game.
Let me start by saying both teams are 8-3 but which is the better 8-3 team? Let's look at a few things the Eagles score a lot of points and is the Cowboys defense up for the challenge? I just see the Cowboys defense as a weak point and see the Eagles having the upper hand on this... but also know they have a lot of turn overs as well. This will be a big key to the game, if the Eagles start turning it over it can go south for them quick.
On the other side of the ball it is no secret the Cowboys have one of the best lines in football and as a result the top rusher in Demarco Murray. The Eagles have a pretty good defensive line which have really held back some running backs to low rushing yards but I really doubt that will be the case this week. If the Cowboys can establish the run and dominate at the line the rest should fall in to place.
Expect the Eagles to put up a lot of yards on the offense, test the Cowboys secondary, put up some points but look out for turnovers as well. Expect the Cowboys defense to struggle especially the secondary and the defensive line to not be much of a factor. If the Cowboys win the offensive line battle they stand a good chance.
